Here’s Your Permission to Change Course

April 22, 2020 By Caroline Peterson

Updated February 2022 So many of us grew up with this notion banged into our heads that we should find a career path, maybe switch positions or be promoted on it, but above all else–stick to it.

It’s my birthday this week and I’m celebrating in style–in Hawaii. Imagine me, a mai tai and terrible hula skills. You’re welcome for that image.

It’s Okay to be Scared. A Look at 2020 and Beyond.

December 29, 2019 By Caroline Peterson

Have you seen it? The abundance of posts chanting: O-M-G It’s the Last Days of the Decade. The ones that humblebrag neatly discuss the intricacies of achievements over the course of the last decade. This won’t be one of them. Truth be told, I didn’t even put it together that 2019 was the last year […]
